Are YOU a terrorist? Tom Emmer says you are.
Are you going to take this from him? I don't think so.

The only reason I have relatives in Philly is 100% b/c my grandaddy’s brother whistled @ a white woman. He fled Alabama hopping a train & didnt get off until Philly for fear of getting lynched. And instead the Klan nearly lynched our family in retaliation for *that!*
I am (1) generation from that.

Coates says Black Americans have stories about relatives who were lynched or had to flee and that a life free of political violence is not in reach in his time
Klein:
"Sometimes I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic."
They lynched a kid last week.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

If you are concerned about the piece Eric is quoting, please read Eric's thread. Eric is a real journalist, he knows the Hill extremely well. I trust his analysis AND it matches what I'm hearing from the Hill.
Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned
The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.
People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

literally anyone who has done abortion rights work in the last 30+ years could tell you that "destroy science by any means necessary" was the only thing on the bingo card
This. This administration is even worse than any of us thought possible. Who had destroy NIH, CDC, USAID, EPA, scientific research all at the same time on their bingo card?
My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.
It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

it's not the most important reason for nuclear disarmament, but among the reasons to seek a world with no nuclear weapons is it removes the catastrophic backstop that prevents vainglorious shitheads from ditching bad strategy once it's obviously failed

This Day in Labor History: September 30, 1919. A shootout occurred between armed guards protecting a union meeting of sharecroppers in Elaine, Arkansas and whites seeking to intimidate them. The next day, the governor ordered the military to massacre the workers!!! This is the Elaine Massacre!

yeah both are true, which makes it extra maddening lol
A lot of people are mentioning how weak the Trump administration is and how poor their authoritarian consolidation is actually going, but does it even matter?
If civil society continues to bend the knee, checks and balances don’t exist, and the opposition party is feckless, they will win anyway.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women.
Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted.
And everyone in that room knows it.

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

You're an incredibly smart person to be peddling an incredibly absent minded argument. Even if every Democratic official held a Pritzker-like conference every minute of every day, it still wouldn't give them the Constitutional power to do anything about it. This is a GOP problem.
